Got your tshirt? What is the sizing like?
If I am wearing it and representing I need it to fit!
Not got my tee yet but went for a medium which I hope isn't too flappy....hate baggy clothes. I'll update when it arrives.

Have had some of my best nights out at Fabric over the last decade and have seen some of the finest musical talents in the Techno world - Ritchie Hawtin, Seth Troxler, Carl Cox, Luciano, Loco Dice, Jamie Jones, Green Velvet, Sasha, Digweed, Villalobos, Andy Weatherhall to name just a few
It is a travesty that Islington council have been able to have such an important say in London's night culture!

They have promised to provide bi-weekly receipts of what the donations are being spent on.
Sure they are wealthy, and Fabric is a profitable business, but they have had no money going into the business for over 4 weeks now, with a lot of outgoings. They also funded the expensive appeal 12 months ago when the original closure was threatened.
I don't think any sane person would risk bankrupt or personal loss to fight this.

Has anyone watched the debate on boiler room?
I've just watched the first hour and it's fascinating stuff. The Amsterdam night time mayor is quite an impressive chap, and I think Emily Thornberry is coming across very well.

Why would they be risking bankruptcy or personal loss to fight this? One of the owners if I remember correctly is fabulously wealthy, if fabric stays open he will only gain from it.
Not knocking anyone donating, just see how the owners could ask for donations when they are more than capable of covering the expenses themselves.
T-shirt has arrived and it's a nice fit. I purchased medium and at 5' 10" with a 32 inch waist it's fits perfectly.

"fabric in advanced talks to reopen."
"The iconic London nightclub may continue to operate under a new set of licensing conditions."
Interesting.

This needs to go to the high court IMO. 1) to set a precedent to stop other police and councils being able to close venues willynilly and also to make sure individuals involved in this farce with personal agendas are brought to light in a public court.

Totally agree, if Islington council and the met are even considering this then it's safe to say they're going to lose in court. The hearing is less than two weeks away, I hope they see it through to the end.

I see there's a special Fabric night at Concorde in a few weeks. https://dice.fm/event/saveourculture-friction-linguistics-17th-dec-concorde-2-brighton-tickets
